It's finally here! You can get your hands on a copy of my brand new book: Dreaming in Digital: The World of Disney Video Games. It takes a look at 50 #Disney games, beginning in 1981 through the present day. I LOVED writing this book and hope you enjoy reading it. www.amazon.com/Dreaming-Dig...

Thanks to Marvel Suoer Hero Island at the Islands of Adventure theme park, I came home with the urge to doodle comic book characters. Here are Victor Von Doom and The Thing ( from a tutorial on the Cartooning Club: How To Draw YouTube page)

This evening’s reading…

Im about halfway through One World Under Doomfrom Ryan North, R.B. Silva, David Curiel, Travis Lanham, and Ben Harvey, and Holy. Cow. This is a great comic book.

BREAKING: Walter Koenig, who played Chekov on the original Star Trek series, has died at age 90. Koenig joined the NBC series Star Trek in its second season as Russian crewmember Ensign Pavel Andreievich Chekov. https://bit.ly/3UkRz7z

This is an oversimplification, but I feel like Avengers Campus at DCA is perfect for MCU die hards, while Marvel Super Hero Island at Islands of Adventure is perfect if you’re more of an old school comic book fan. Both obviously amazing

Thoughts are with Eric Bauza’s friends, family, and colleagues. So grateful that he shared his gifts with the world.

The one. The only. And if you aren't terrified…you don’t know Jack.

Started playing Marvel Snap this evening and can already tell that it's going to become something of an addiction. The card upgrades are a straight dopamine hit.

Ygor alone is worth the price of admission to Epic Universe!

Watched Animal Actors on Location at Universal Studios today. Such a shame this show is going away, because it's an absolute delight.

It's the weekend. You could use a good breakfast. How about a bowl of 3 Minute Oats with Donald Duck? Discover how these two came together in this week's Make Mine Music blog post. makeminemusiccom.wordpress.com/2026/10/17/d...

A new Make Mine Music post will go live tomorrow. It's all about Donald Duck and the National Oats Company. In the meantime, get caught up on the history of Disney (particularly Mickey Miuse) entering the world of cereal! makeminemusiccom.wordpress.com/2026/10/03/m...

Watching the first episode of Stranger Things: Tales from 85. Really fun so far. The animation is great, the voice actors are spot on, and the soundtrack is awesome.

Speaking of Popeye, I didn't know until today that Olive Oyl predates him and started as part of the Thimbel Theater comic strip and that her original beau was named Harold Ham Gravy…

We’re going to Universal Studios in Florida soon, and one of the areas I'm excited to visit is Toon Lagoon, which is chock full of classic cartoon and comic strip characters. It's also home to Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges. In anticipation, Here's a Popeye doodle.

UCO Bronchos Varsity eSports defaeats the Carthage Firebirds 3-1!!!

This morning’s quest is finding a t-shirt for the long defunct Back to the Future ride at Universal Studios…

I hate wrestling Halloween. What do you mean you're going as Classy Freddie Blassie’s Hawaiian shirt from Andy Kaufman’s My Breakfast with Blassie?

The eighties were filled with toy lines that lasted only a year or two. Infaceables used vacuum suction to change a figure's face. It might not have been a robot, but it was a fun take on the transforming toy craze. I wrote about their history here. www.retroist.com/p/infaceables

It’s mostly common knowledge that the Griffith Park carousel inspired Walt Disney. But few are likely familiar with its current connections to those who work for the Walt Disney Co. www.latimes.com/lifestyle/st...

Man, outside of travel guides there don't seem to be very many books telling the story of the Universal Studios theme parks

Getting ready for Halloween Horror Nights. Our youngest is watching Stranger Things for the first time (2/3 of the way through Season 2 today), I'm reading a Stranger Things novel, and Eggos are being consumed.

Friday doodlehausen. If you happen to see this post: You. Are. Cursed. Sorry. I don't make the rules.

A lunchtime doodle of Abaddon from the Netflix animated series Haunted Hotel

In the most recent Make Mine Music article, we talked about Mickey Mouse and Post Toasties cereal. But of course, Donald Duck would ever let Mickey get all the glory. Here's a peek at the topic of our next article, which will go live on 10/17

My current listen is the audiobook of Future Boy by Michael J Fox about the creation of Back to the Future. The audiobook version has bonus interview content with other stars of the film, which has been super cool.

I love the things that have taken its place, but I gotta admit that I still miss the backlit tour that used to be at Hollywood Studios.

Age yourself with a childhood crush.

The fall issue of Celebratiobs Magazine arrived in the mail recently! Can't wait to read all of the Disney goodness packed inside

Went to the library and picked up the first 3 volumes of Clock Striker by Issaka Galadima & Frederick L Jones, published by Saturday AM. I read vol. 1 a few years ago, but rereading it before moving onto the others. The world building and characters in this are so much fun and the art is awesome.

I love Disney. And I love breakfast cereal. Especially if it has an awesome mascot. I had an absurd amount of fun researching and writing the newest Make Mine Music blog post, which explores the history of Disney and cold cereal! makeminemusiccom.wordpress.com/2026/10/03/m...

Name a TV Show quote you use all the time.

We've got a free trial of Paramount Plus, so I'm watching Star Trek: Lower Decks for the first time. Loved the first episode. Can't wait to watch more.

Spending my afternoon break on the back porch reading Star Trek: The Red Path and drinking Dunkin’ pumpkin spice coffee. Thank goodness for fall.

It's been a bit since I shamelessly promoted my books (at least on this platform) so here’s a quick note to mention that I've got a book on Disney animation AND a book on Disney video games available through Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. www.amazon.com/stores/Shaun...

Very serious author photo.

Working on this Make Mine Music blog post just reminds me how much I enjoy researching things, sifting through articles and interviews to put together a story. It's a bit like being a paleontologist uncovering dinosaur bones and then piecing the creature back together.

I didn't buy it. It aired on TV and I recorded it on a VHS. Can't remember how many times I've seen it since

Diving into vol. 1 of Star Trek: Godshock. Really enjoying it so far, and I'm also looking forward to diving into Star Trek: Defiant once I've read this volume.

To be honest, I'm giving myself a couple days before I watch the Pac tribute on AEW Dynamite. I've seen a few clips this evening, and it looks like it's been a beautiful and powerful show.

Working on the first Make Mine Music blog post in a few months, and it's combining two of my favorite topics: Disney and breakfast cereal. I can't wait to share it with y'all this weekend…

Just watched Attractions Magazine’s walk through of Inked at Knott’s Scary Farm. As a huge fan of rubber hose style animation, I ADORED this youtu.be/-FXXwVDefAg?...
